Note that things like INT*4 do not universally tell how many bytes are
used in that integer. The Fortran standard does not specify which kind
corresponds to which size of variable, it is up to the implementation
to define which kind number corresponds to which variable size. It is
common that INT*4 means a 4-byte integer, but it does not have to be
so. That is the reason why Fortran has functions like
selected_int_kind, to pick the proper kind number.
